Temple 20 Army 28
The Owls were already a bit of a mess offensively, and they may be with out Montel Harris in this one. As we saw last week, Army's offense can be tough to stop, and Temple doesn't have the kind of athletes Rutgers does to slow it down.

USC 42 UCLA 34
The Trojans have been a disappointment this year, and the Bruins have been a surprise, but think USC is still the better team. Marqise Lee may be the best player in the country right now, and I think he and Matt Barkley will do enough to win and put SC in the drivers seat to win the Pac 12 south.

South Florida 14 Miami 28
The Canes have been very good offensively this year, with freshamn Duke Johnson providing plenty of fireworks. USF will have a true freshman QB starting his first game on the road (albeit in a non hostile environment) and the Bulls will not be able to keep up.

Clemson 44 North Carolina State 27
NC State has been very inconsistent offensively this year, while the Tigers have been playing very good football since their loss in Tallahassee in September.

Texas Tech 37 Oklahoma State 30
Oklahoma State is on, I believe, their third starting QB of the season, and the Red Raiders have played surprisingly good defense this year.Seth Doege has been one of the top QBs in the Big 12.

Ohio State 45 Wisconsin 40
I haven't watched much Big 10 football this year, but this could be a good game. Both teams can score.

Utah State 43 Louisiana Tech 41
This game is for all the marbles in the WAC. The Bulldogs have a high power offense, but The Aggies are a very good team all around, and Gary Anderson is one of the best coaches you don't know about.

Oklahoma 56 West Virginia 41
Poor Geno Smith. The Mountaineers just can not play defense at all.

Syracuse 27 Missouri 28
The battle for bowl eligibility. The Tigers have been dominated in SEC play, but I think they can pull this one out at home.

Kansas State 63 Baylor 38
Much like West Virginia, Baylor can not stop anyone, let alone Optimus Klein, the Wildcats' o-line and Wizard Bill Snyder.

Stanford 24 Oregon 50
Stanford does not have enough speed on defense to stop Oregon. They couldn't beat them with Andrew Luck and Jim Harbaugh, I just don't see them beating them with out those two.

BYU 17 San Jose State 24
This is a pretty interesting mid-major match up. Both teams have very good defenses.
